All you have to do is just listen. Keep on listening. Don't answer back, and in nine cases out of ten, your staff will leave your room perfectly happy and satisfied.Even ordinary things should be noticed and appreciated. That's what the smart boss does. So you shouldn't just praise once and forget about it. If someone has done a good job, you should mention it again and again and again, because for most of us the desire for appreciation is never satisfied.Moreover, a good supervisor (监管者) certainly notices the changes in all members of his staff and asks about them. When a staff member is back from leave, the good supervisor asks the staff member how he enjoyed his time off. He welcomes him back with a cheerful smile. It is just these small touches that make all the difference between a pleasant and unpleasant working environment.It is a fact that anyone loves being given attention, and you have to recognize it if you want good results when dealing with people. People crave (渴求) attention. And they will get it one way or another. If they can't get it by being constructive (建设性的), they will get it by being destructive (破坏性的). Don't ignore people. Even a few seconds of attention periodically (周期性地) can make all the difference.As a boss, before you yourself eat or look after your own needs, you must see to the needs of your people. You should also keep yourself in touch with the habits and ways of the people who work for you. Give them plenty of chances to say what they think. Encourage them to do so. This is one of the best ways to keep open the lines of communication. Do this often. Talk to your people. Get to know what's on their minds. Then you will be able to anticipate theirneeds and even stop trouble well before a matter becomes serious.91.It may be surprising that people in general just _____B______________.A. feel happy and satisfied oftenB. wish to reveal their innermost feelingsC. listen to what others have to sayD. want to answer back when told something92.To be a smart boss, you should _______C_____________.A. only praise your staff members for a good job sometimesB. show your craving (渴求) for appreciation again and againC. take notice of ordinary things and show your appreciationD. do a good job and expect your staff members to praise you93.We can guess that these small touches of your care_____A_____________.A. enhance the pleasant feelings at workB. urge your staff members to come backC. enable yourself to go on workingD. keep your staff members working hard94.It is a general fact that people _______D________________.A. want good results in their workB. want to work without being botheredC. would become constructive (建设性的) when neglectedD. have a strong desire for attention95.The passage is mainly about _____B________________.A. praise being better than criticismB. how to be a smart bossC. listening to your staffD. making a differenceQuestions 96 to 100 are based on the same passage or dialog.In 1848, gold was discovered in California; from all over the nation, thousands of young men set out for California. People called this the time of the Gold Rush.A gold miner came into a city looking for a pair of pants. He wanted pants strong enough to stand up to the rough work of mining. He met a young man named Levi, who sold heavy cloth for tents and wagon tops. They asked a tailor to use heavy cloth for their pants. Then Levi went into the business of making work pants. He asked his brothers to send him some strong blue cotton cloth called denim (斜纹粗棉布). With this blue denim cloth, Levi started making the kind of pants we call blue jeans today. They were sewed up in the same way as other pants.In 1860, a miner said that the pockets weren't strong enough to hold the pieces of gold he found. The pockets kept falling off the pants. The cloth was all right. It was the thread that wasn't strong enough. So Levi used rivets (铆钉) to attach the pockets onto the pants.Cowboys needed tough pants, too. They liked their pants to fit tightly. But the rivets marked the cowboys' saddles. So Levi covered the rivets with cloth. Then everybody was happy.96.This article as a whole is about _____A_____________.A. how people got blue jeansB. the Gold Rush in CaliforniaC. How blue jeans are madeD. The kind of pants cowboys' wear97.While not stated in the article, you can tell that _______D___________.A. everybody who went to California got a lot of goldB. Levi found riches in the gold fieldsC.

It was Levi who started the business of making blue jeans.B. It was one tailor who started making blue jeans.C. It was in California that blue jeans first became popular.D.

They are disciplined intofollowing, not leading. Yet the future depends on creativity and imagination.The world needs creators, makers and shakers of the new centuries, not thefollowers of the past centuries. As the numbers increase at college anduniversity level, more students from the lower ends are likely to be thrown intoa process designed to choose only learners that have proved excellent inlistening to teachers.There are three ways to learn: looking, listening and doing.Students and teachers today are a product of learning by listening. Thecomputer may not be liked by traditional teachers, who use rote-learning toput information, which will be out of date in a few years, into the heads of thestudents. With computer learning you learn by looking, listening and doing;you use three methods of learning, not just one. Therefore, you can learnfaster.The changing speed of information is frightening. What we learn now will beout of date in the near future. So what students are learning now at schoolmay be replaced by the time they finish university. We have to learn by choicewhat to forget. Rote-learning for exams is one thing, but wouldn't it be betterto learn how to learn? The students at university today could possibly bedoing a job in the not too distant future which has not yet been invented.101.According to the author, the future doesn't need ___D_________.A. creativityB. imaginationC. creatorsD. followers102.In the author's view, how can students learn well?DA.

We don't have enough time to adjust ourselves to the speed of information.B. What we learned today may not be useful tomorrow.C. The pace of life is too fast.D. The world is changing every minute.104.What does the last sentence of the passage tell us? BA. Rote-learning is completely harmful.B. Students may have to do jobs which are not yet in existence.C. It's better to learn how to learn than learn what to forget.D. Students must imagine the future.105.The author's attitude towards rote-learning is ___B______.A. approvingB. disapprovingC. confidentD. opposite to what the words say Key: 1-10 A C D C D/ C B B A C 11-20 C C C A C/ D B D C A。

Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.The global spread of English over the last 40 years has been remarkable. It is unparalleled in three ways: by the increasing number of (11) of the language; by its depth of penetration into societies; by its range of (12) .In the future three factors will continue to (13) to this spread of English: English usage in science, (14) and commerce; the ability to integrate vocabulary from other languages; and the acceptability of (15) English dialects.However, the future is of English is difficult to (16) , but there are two possibilities: it is an (17) language in at least a hundred years; more language users shift their native languages into English in the 21st century and English may (18) or co-exist with other languages by allowing strangers to communicate (19) language boundaries. It may become one tool that opens windows to the world, unlocks doors to opportunities, and (20) our minds to new ideas.Section B (20 points)Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. Y ou should decide on the best choice.Passage oneThe history of English is conventionally, if perhaps too neatly, divided into three periods usually called Old (or Anglo-Saxon) English, Middle English, and Modern English. The earliestperiod begins with the migration (移民) of certain Germanic tribes from the continent to Britain in the fifth century A.D., though no records of their language survive from before the seventh century, and it continues until the end of the seventh century or a bit later. By that time, Latin, Old Norse (the language of the Viking invaders), and especially the Anglo-Norman French of the dominant class after the Norman Conquest in 1066 had begun to have a substantial impact on the vocabulary, and the well-developed inflectional (词尾变化的) system that typify the grammar of Old English had began to break down.The period of Middle English extends roughly from the twelfth century through the fifteenth. The influence of French (and Latin, often by way of French) upon the vocabulary continued throughout the period, the loss of some inflections and the reduction of others accelerate, and many changes took place within the grammatical systems of the language. A typical prose passage, especially one from the later part of the period, will not have such a foreign look to us as the prose of Old English, but it will not be mistaken for contemporary writing either.The period of Modern English extends from the sixteenth century to our own day. The early part of this period saw the completion of a revolution in vowel (元音) distribution that had began in late Middle English and that effectively brought the language to something resembling its present pattern. Other important early developments include the stabilizing effect on spelling of the printing press and the beginning of the direct influence of Latin, and to a lesser extent, Greek on the vocabulary. Later, as English came into contact with other cultures around the world and distinctive dialects of English developed in the many areas which Britain had colonized, numerous other languages made small but interesting contributions to our word-stock.21. The earliest written record of English available to us started_____.A) from the fifth centuryB) from the seventh centuryC) from the ninth centuryD) from the twelfth century22. What characterized the grammar of Old English?A) The influence of LatinB) A revolution in vowel distributionC) A well-developed inflectional systemD) Loss of some inflection23. It can be inferred from the passage that today_____.A) Even an educated person cannot read Old English without special training.B) A person who knows French well can understand Old English.C) An educated person can understand Old English but cannot pronounce it.D) A person can pronounce Old English words but cannot understand them.24. We can infer from the passage that a prose passage from the fifteenth century _____.A) look like foreign language to contemporary English readersB) is almost the same as Modern English in grammatical structureC) can be understood by contemporary readersD) look more like contemporary English than Old English25. What is the most remarkable characteristic of Modern English?A) Numerous additions to its vocabulary.B) The emergence of new varieties in many parts of the worldC) Gradual changes in its grammatical system.D) The direct influence of Latin.Passage 2It is pretty much a one-way street. While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial world, there is very little traffic in the opposite direction. Pay has always been the biggest deterrent, as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia (学术界) outweigh any financial considerations.Helen Lee took a 70% cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects of a commercial return, and Lee’s is one of them.The impact of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a pharmaceutical (制药的) company before returning to university as a post-doctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities.Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition (转换) to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development. “Only a small numbe r of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research pr oject.”26. By “a one-way street” (Line 1, Para. 1), the author means ________.A) university researchers know little about the commercial worldB) there is little exchange between industry and academiaC) few industrial scientists would quit to work in a universityD) few university professors are willing to do industrial research27. The word “deterrent” (Line 3, Para. 1) most probably refers to something that ________.A) keeps someone from taking action C) attracts people’s attentionB) helps to move the traffic D) brings someone a financial burden28. What was Helen Lee’s major consideration when she changed her job in the middle of hercareer?A) Flexible work hours. C) Her preference for the lifestyle on campus.B) Her research interests. D) Prospects of academic accomplishments.29. Guy Grant chose to work as a researcher at Cambridge in order to ________.A) do financially more rewarding workB) raise his status in the academic worldC) enrich his experience in medical researchD) exploit better intellectual opportunities30. What contribution can industrial scientists make when they come to teach in a university?A) Increase its graduates’ competitiveness in the job market.B) Develop its students’ potential in research.C) Help it to obtain financial support from industry.D) Gear its research towards practical applications.III.
